   Format: MarkdownItexI started an article, [[surreal number]]. I've run out of energy to put in all the links that should be in there. I want to get at [[Conway game]]s at some point, as they are more basic than Conway numbers, and fit well within an nPOV. Conway discovered numbers after games, and it seems only right to establish that priority also within the Lab. In particular, one should mention Joyal's description of the category of games, and what this has to do with the ordering on numbers.
